Third Floor Common Room; Late Wednesday Night.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad...wasn't getting any sleep tonight. While the dinos were tired from their adventures in Empire, Shinobu and Vincente decided to have a party on his bed, jumping and dancing in plushy cactus and teal deer silence. He didn't mind, so long as their crazy antics weren't disturbing Katara. He'd just go to the common room for a bit, with his Carnivore Kingdom DVDs and some popcorn.


[[s'open, if you don't mind the impending attempt to try to keep things just cuddly]]

After seeing Peter's costume and running moving right along on his way to the common room, Teddy entered the room and plopped down on the couch nest to Chad.

"What's this?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad nodded toward the screen, where the little lion puppet guy was flailing around and talking in Japanese while the image of wildebeasts flocked across the veldt. "Carnivore Kingdom," Chad told Teddy, immediately passing the bowl of popcorn his way and leaning in for a slightly awkward kiss, as he wasn't taking his eyes off the screen. The lions would be coming out soon. You didn't want to miss the lions.

Teddy rolled his eyes at the kiss, slipping an arm behind Chad to cuddle in close. "It's in Japanese."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello. There was cuddling. Chad grinned a little, leaning in, shifting to get comfortable. "It's a Japanese show," Chad said by way of explaination. "I think there might be subtitles, though."

Chad dragged his eyes away to look for where he set the remote. Right out of his reach on the little table by the couch. Which meant he'd have to move. Hmmm. That was a problem...

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy saw the remote too and was loathe to move away from the cuddling as well. He rested his head on Chad's shoulder. "'s cool. You can just tell me what's going on. Unless the plot is really that hard to follow..."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Considering that the action on screen consisted of lions (and lion plushy thing) were chasing the wildebeasts now and that was about it? "Yeah, it ain't hard to follow."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Mmm, Chad cuddles. Even the crazy lion plushie on the TV and an maybe evil Spiderman couldn't make this a bad night.

"Is the plushie going to kill the wildebeast?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad shook his head a little, and then nuzzled a little into Teddy's hair. "Nope. The lions are, an' then the little plushie guy's gonna talk about it."

"Can't kill a wildebeast with felt claws, Ted." He gave him a little kiss on the head.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Because TV shows are always oh so logical," Teddy said, grinning at the hair nuzzle.

Nova's little turtle plushie was restless. Nova himself didn't sleep and was still a little unsettled by how nice Yuki had been in class today. The solution, they made a trip to the common room. Hopefully the turtle wouldn't attack anyone else.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

From behind the Teddy cuddling, Chad lifted his chin in a nod. "Hey, Nova."

Two days in a row. That was pretty cool. His eyes shifted to the TV screen for a second, then back to Nova with a grin, waiting to see if he'd notice that the lion plushie on the show should look awfully familiar to him.

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

"Chad," Nova said with a short wave. He saw Chad's expression when he looked at the television then had to look himself.

"Kon?" he asked with a confused stare.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Not quite," Chad explained. "Kon's plushy is a cheap knock-off of this guy."

The not-quite-Kon was babbling on in Japanese about what parts of the wildebeast the lions don't like eating. While the lions are eating the wildebeast.

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova watched the deluxe version television Kon wondering how many people had an interest in the eating habits of the wildebeast.

The little plushie, feeling like he was missing something important, pulled at Nova's boot, demanding to be raised to the level of the big people. Nova placed the turtle so it had a good view from the inside of his jacket.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad sat up a little. "Your turtle...."

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

"It's possessed," Nova said plainly. Though by what, he hadn't figured out yet.

The little turtle seemed to take an interest in Chad as well. It had yet to see anyone so massive. It had to do things right this time and get on this guy's good side if it wanted to take advantage of his size.

The turtle tumbles from its position in Nova's jacket and afterward proceeds in its plan to be as cute as possible. It starts with a cute session of somersaults.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

The pulls of cuteness and confusion were having quite a tug-of-war in his brain as Chad watched the somersaults with much melting, but also a slice of disturbance, until he remembered all his dinos being active, as well as Shinobu and Vincente, and he relaxed, giving into the cuteness. He held out a hand to the little turtle, hoping Nova didn't mind, but Nova wasn't the turtle right now, the turtle was...just the turtle, so he shouldn't mind.

"I think a lotta stuff that usually wouldn't are comin' to life today," he said, wondering if the turtle would like his cactus and teal deer.

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Success! thought the little turtle. He climbed aboard the giant's hand with thoughts of unlimited power now that he had a conveyance.

Nova gave Chad a nod. "It's unexplainable...."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy pulled away from Chad long enough to wave to Nova. "Hey, Nova!"

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova waved back. "Hi Teddy."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Did you have fun at the party last night?"

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova thought back to the party and didn't know if 'fun' was the right word. He stared intently at the floor, trying to think of something nice to say and not thinking of partially nude people (particularly the redheaded pirate).

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy chuckled. "The next party will have more clothes, I promise."

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

And for that Nova was relieved. "Thank you."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"We could try a mask party next time," Teddy offered.
